Yeah, but it's a quick win. Ban some single-use plastics and prevent it from getting into the oceans because it doesn't exist. Yeah, you have to do something about the fishing nets, but there is no reason to not take those quick-wins

It’s a quick win if it leads to further progress. It’s a distraction if it’s not part of a larger plan that includes real change. That’s my fear. Banning plastic straws was all we talked about for two straight years. That’s wasted time, and it didn’t really lead to anything else.
